HID-Inner Range partnership extended to encompass wallet-enabled readers

Steve Katanas, regional head of physical access control solutions for HID, observed: “The opportunity to further deepen collaboration with our partners excites us. Mobile access is rapidly becoming a dominant force in reshaping the physical access security industry and we are glad to be able to extend the mobile access in wallet solution to Inner Range to solidify its position as an integrated access control solutions provider on the global stage.”

Katanas added: “Inner Range’s customers will receive all the benefits of adding mobile credentials in Apple or Google Wallet [and other OEM wallets in the near future]. I’m excited by the potential of this technology partnership as we continue to collaborate on secure, sustainable and future-proof identity solutions.”

Additional choice for end users

Leveraging HID’s wallet-enabled readers, Inner Range enriches its reader product portfolio, providing its customers with an additional choice of adding HID mobile credentials in wallet, in turn giving employees, tenants and visitors secure and easy access to office spaces, meeting rooms, printers, lockers and other facilities with a tap of their smart phone near the Inner Range SIFER- enabled readers powered by HID Signo.

The in-wallet solution powered by HID Mobile Access provides “industry leading” user-experience, while employing advanced encryption and security protocols to ensure that access to facilities is both safe and secure.

Seamless user experience

“We are delighted with the success of our recent collaboration with HID,” explained Gabriel Daher, vice-president and general manager of Inner Range. “At Inner Range, providing our customers with a seamless user experience is a core objective for our security solutions. Adding SIFER credential support to the HID Signo reader achieves this perfectly and provides significant opportunity for Inner Range and our channel by offering future-proof solutions that incorporate both of our technologies.”

Daher added: “This strategic partnership is a significant milestone that underscores our commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology in order to deliver exceptional value for our customers. We are excited to share this news with our current and prospective clients. As we continue to strengthen our alliance with HID, we are eager to embark on future projects that promise to harness the full potential of HID technology.”
